Wallpaper Program
Recent versionsof SMSQ/E from about version 3.00 feature high colour and
high resolution screens along with the new Window Manager. This makes
them very suitable for displaying colourful and attractive background
images behind your program windows.

The downside of using wallpaper on a high-colour system is the amount of
memory it takes. (...)
Thanks Dilwyn for automating the wallpaper process.
Just a word about memory and compressed images.
As other programs or other OSes appear to put compressed images straight
to the screen, I suspect they all need to keep a final uncompressed
version in memory to work.
The space demands may go unnoticed as other systems have more RAM to play
with.
This is also true for compressed sprites that WMAN2 processes directly.
Compressing _pic or _scr files is feasible but it's mostly WIN space that
is won.
